Answer: Both particle and wave

Step-by-step explanation:

Light is a particle and a wave, which is also known as a photon. Light particles (photons) have properties of both particles and waves. They are particles that have mass and can interact with matter, but they also exhibit wave properties with a wave-like pattern of energy emission and transmission. This means that light has both particle-like and wave-like behavior, and is considered both a particle and wave.
